I work from home and drink from mugs and I don’t tiktok, so this whole trendy cup thing is really confusing me.

Do they uncurse bad water or something?

    They used to be better. Or at least, the thermos were. I got a modern stanley thermos, from 2020. Holds temp fairly well, but not great. Hot coffee brewed fresh in the morning turns lukewarm by night. Ice cold water turns room temp in a day (no idea why that is).

    A girl I used to date still had her father’s stanley thermos from the 70s-80s. That fucker could hold temp for ages. Apparently the company got bought out, and replaced the graphite lining with air. Or something like that.

    Still, miles better than anything I can get locally.

      I recently bought a Bubba brand thermos and even in dinner the ice I added stayed ice for almost 2 days. That was when I left it in the car. Love the thing, it just works very well and isn’t too pricey.

        Bubba brand thermos

        This sounds suspiciously like a brand found only in the American South.

          You would think but I’m from the north east and it only cost $15 for the 40oz one at Walmart.

      I don’t know about their current quality, they were a buy it for life thing, I have my grandfathers kicking around somewhere, bought in the '50’s. I still use it.
